Praise for IMOGEN CLARK…
“… the song hits all the right pop heights as Clark soars above the instrumental on the anthemic chorus… ascends to dizzying pop rock brilliance.” – Under The Radar
“Clark has a distinct and fascinating voice, slivers of smoky emotion breaking through the soft, easy-going surface… a decidedly modern indie-pop sound.” – Analogue Trash
“… poignant narrative and stellar musicianship.” – Beat Magazine

Following the anticipated release of Imogen Clark’s latest single last month, the enthralling ‘Forget About London’, comes the brand new track ‘Never This Time’.
Penned with Taylor Goldsmith from US outfit Dawes and Rilo Kiley’s Jason Boesel, who also plays drums on the track, ‘Never This Time’ is the second single to be lifted from Clark’s forthcoming BASTARDS EP, announced today and due for release on Friday 21 May (MGM/Potts Entertainment).
It’s a stunning four minutes of honest guitar-driven indie-rock, showcasing Imogen’s raw vocal as she reflects on the deeply personal.

“Two things run in my family – anxiety and alcoholism. I’ve struggled with the former as long as I can remember, and I’ve seen the latter ruin so many people in my life.
“The heartbreaking thing about alcoholism is how it twists people you love, turns them into strangers. This song is about something I’ve learned the hard way – you can give people chance after chance, let them make promises to you and break them, but in the end, if they don’t want to change, there’s nothing you can do, and have to cut the cord before they drag you down with them.
“I had to tap into something so raw to write this song, and I think you can hear that in the finished track.”
Also announced today, Imogen will embark on a national BASTARDS headline tour with her band this August. Kicking off in Newcastle on 10 August, the tour will take in rooms across the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Bundalaguah and Melbourne, following a residency at Sydney’s Low 302 through May.
Garnering stellar reviews for her live show – Sydney Morning Herald noting how “she commanded the stage with matchless acuity” in their 4.5-star review – Imogen Clark live in action is not to be missed…!

About IMOGEN CLARK
Imogen Clark is an Australian singer-songwriter, hailing from the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, whose music ranges from arena-ready rock anthems to raw confessional indie pop. Since 2016, the 25 year-old has released two studio albums and one EP – 2020’s The Making Of Me – and featured on a number of compilation albums.
Cutting her teeth playing in local pubs in the Blue Mountains during her teen years before taking the stage with artists like Shania Twain, Ian Moss and Willie Watson, Imogen has worked relentlessly over the past decade building up her musical chops. She has worked with Mark Lizotte (Diesel), Kasey Chambers and Jim Lauderdale and cites Benmont Tench (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) and Pete Thomas (Elvis Costello and the Attractions) amongst her collaborators.
Released in August of last year, Imogen Clark’s The Making Of Me EP garnered widespread acclaim both in Australia and North America. Praised for its raw honesty by fans and critics, the six-track offering showcased Imogen’s powerful vocal and reflective lyrics.
Recorded in LA with producer Mike Bloom (Julian Casablancas, Jenny Lewis) at the helm, The Making Of Me features a star-studded line-up with players from some of the world’s greatest rock bands – from Benmont Tench (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) on keyboard, to Pete Thomas (Elvis Costello and the Attractions) on drums. Local artists Alex Lahey, Clare Bowen, Emma Swift, Anita Lester and more can be found across EP singles ‘Found Me’, ‘My Own Worst Enemy’, ‘The Making Of Me’, and ‘Paper Boat’.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
